Emailchemy reads email from the closed, proprietary file formats of the most popular (and many of yesterday's forgotten) email applications and converts it to standard, portable formats that any application can use.

The program also includes an embedded IMAP mail server from which any IMAP-compatible email application can download your converted mail.

Emailchemy converts proprietary email formats to many popular formats based on The One True E-mail Format - RFC-2822 (formerly RFC-822). This is the official Internet/ARPAnet standard for email that has been around since 1973. Most modern email applications are able to directly use or import these standard formats.

Things you can do with Emailchemy:
· Recover / Export email from an old application or file format.
· Import email into your new email application.
· Convert email to standard formats, for: entry into a database, long-term archival, forensic analysis (eDiscovery).
· Repair or clean mailbox files.
· Condense/split email files and archives.
· Make older email Y2K compliant.

Emailchemy can read most email file formats and convert them to open standard formats. Emailchemy can also host converted mail on an embedded mail server, providing a universal method for importing email into any IMAP compatible email application.

· AOL for Windows ("PFC" files)
· Claris Emailer 1.x for Macintosh
